Sad? Very. But also one of the least horrifying portrayals of dementia out there, with none of the "getting angry that strangers (your children) are holding you against your will while waiting for your parents (long deceased) to come rescue you from this horrible prison (a place you called home until a few years ago)" or things of that sort... but, we still have to hear the blonde guy's story, so I'm sure the arc will probably only get more uncomfortable as it goes on.
Thanks for the chapters!
